Regional scale characteristics of the seasonal cycle of chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean (2011, background): “A significant part of these gaps lies in the links between physical, physiological and ecological factors that influence the annual cycle of phytoplankton growth and loss rates (Behrenfeld, 2010).”
Physical controls of variability in North Atlantic phytoplankton communities (2015, background): “Although the physical drivers of seasonal changes in North Atlantic phytoplankton communities are relatively well studied (Sverdrup 1953; Follows and Dutkiewicz 2002), if still debated (Behrenfeld 2010; Taylor and Ferrari 2011), considerably less is known about how and why phytoplankton communities ”
Microbial control of diatom bloom dynamics in the open ocean (2012, background): “Recent research on diatom bloom dynamics has modelled their regulation by focusing on environmental factors including nutricline [Cermeno et al., 2008] or pycnocline [Behrenfeld, 2010] depth.”
Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, unknown): “Science 296:1692–94 Behrenfeld MJ. 2010.”
Annual cycles and spring blooms in phytoplankton: don't abandon Sverdrup completely (2011, background): “The classic critical-depth model for the onset of the spring phytoplankton bloom in the North Atlantic (e.g. Siegel et al. 2002) has recently been called into question by Behrenfeld (2010, hereafter B2010), Boss & Behrenfeld (2010), and Taylor & Ferrari (2011).”
Ecological niches of open ocean phytoplankton taxa (2015, background): “…of numerous important processes driving phytoplankton growth and distribution patterns: among these are grazing pressure, entrainment of nutrient-rich deep water, light availability, temperature, and short-term environmental variability (Evans and Parslow 1985; Behrenfeld 2010; Irwin et al. 2012).”
Spatiotemporal distributions of rare bacterioplankton populations indicate adaptive strategies in the oligotrophic ocean (2013, background): “…of community turnover at BATS is annual water column mixing, which dramatically changes nutrient gradients and relaxes predation pressures, causing phytoplankton blooms in a complex successional pattern, and microbial community turnover (Morris et al. 2005, Behrenfeld 2010, Treusch et al. 2012).”
